Summary: ErrorLog directive in httpd.conf not working, blocks
httpd service
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.10
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P1
Component: All
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Environment: Windows XP home, SP3.
I create a Windows user account "joomla", with restricted access.
Apache httpd.exe service runs under this account.
In httpd.conf I set
ErrorLog "D:\CMS\apache.log"
I start the httpd service: it fails.
I check the "D:\CMS\apache.log" file, it exists and this is its content:
--------------------------------------------------------
[Thu Nov 13 19:37:36 2008] [error] (OS 5)Accesso negato. : could not open
transfer log file C:/Programmi/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/access.log.
Unable to open logs
--------------------------------------------------------
("Accesso negato" is "access denied")
Why does Apache look at the installation path ?
I open the Windows Event Viewer, Applications, source:="Apache Server"
and there is only this error, not pertinent:
"Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using
192.168.1.10 for ServerName"
I check the access permissions on the file, the user "joomla" is present:
--------------------------------------------------------

RW NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
RW MYPC\joomla
R BUILTIN\Users
--------------------------------------------------------
If I set the user account "joomla" in the "Administrators", httpd starts fine
and the "D:\CMS\apache.log" file content is:
--------------------------------------------------------
httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain
name, using 192.168.1.10 for ServerName

--------------------------------------------------------
Does httpd need administrator rights to start ?
If yes, I think it will be useful to check the user account and warn the user.
Possible places to warn the user:
- ErrorLog file
- Windows Events Logs
- Apache Service Monitor
